For your next visit to the Harvard Art Museums, masks are now optional for visitors and staff, consistent with campus, city, state, and CDC guidelines. Reservations and proof of vaccination are still required. We are delighted to be less than two weeks away from our first in-person lecture in a while, featuring artist Christiane Baumgartner.
